## Transcript

So we're going to be signing today and registering national emergency. I could do the wall over a longer period of time. I didn't need to do this, but I'd rather do it much faster. And I don't have to do it for the election, I've already done a lot of wall. For the election, 2020. And the only reason we're up here talking about this is because of the election. Because they wanna try and win an election which it looks like they're not gonna be able to do. And this one of the ways they think they can possibly win, is by obstruction. And a lot of other nonsense.
